In many parts of the country, summer is peak season for selling a home. If you’re planning to put your home on the market soon, don’t neglect to consider the tax consequences. The TCJA preserves the home sale gain exclusion, so if you’re selling your principal residence, you can exclude up to $250,000 ($500,000 for joint filers) of gain, as long as you meet certain tests. A loss generally won’t be deductible, but if part of your home is rented out or used exclusively for your business, the loss attributable to that portion might be. Contact us with any questions.
